1. I got rather normal looking results:

```auto

1. See [One-sided HP filter - #4 by jpfeifer](https://forum.dynare.org/t/one-sided-hp-filter/3976/4)  
Thus, your data mean is close to but not exactly zero. Similarly, you were matching other mean moments, but without estimating parameters that control these means. That does typically not work.
